  • Modifications of the Digestive Tract for Holding Air in Loricariid and Scoloplacid Catfishes
    Copeia, 1998(3), pp. 663-675 Modifications of the Digestive Tract for Holding Air in Loricariid and Scoloplacid Catfishes JONATHAN W. ARMBRUSTER Loricariid catfishes have evolved several modifications of the digestive tract that • appear to fWIction as accessory respiratory organs or hydrostatic organs. Adapta­ tions include an enlarged stomach in Pterygoplichthys, Liposan:us, Glyptoperichthys, Hemiancistrus annectens, Hemiancistrus maracaiboensis, HyposWmus panamensis, and Lithoxus; a U-shaped diverticulum in Rhinelepis, Pseudorinelepis, Pogonopoma, and Po­ gonopomoides; and a ringlike diverticulum in Otocinclus. Scoloplacids, closely related to loricariids, have enlarged, clear, air-filled stomachs similar to that of Lithoxus. The ability to breathe air in Otocinclus was confirmed; the ability of Lithoxus and Scoloplax to breathe air is inferred from morphology. The diverticula of Pogonopomoides and Pogonopoma are similar to swim bladders and may be used as hydrostatic organs. The various modifications of the stomach probably represent characters that define monophyletic clades. The ovaries of Lithoxus were also examined and were sho~ to have very few (15--17) mature eggs that were large (1.6-2.2 mm) for the small size of the fish (38.6-41.4 mm SL). Los bagres loricariid an desarrollado varias modificaciones del canal digestivo que aparentan fWIcionar como organos accesorios de respiracion 0 organos hidrostati­ cos. Las adaptaciones incluyen WI estomago agrandado en Pterygoplichthys, Liposar­ cus, Glyproperichthys, Hemiancistrus annectens, Hemiancistrus maracaiboensis, Hyposto­ mus panamensis, y Lithoxus; WI diverticulum en forma de U en Rhinelepis, Pseudori­ nelepis, Pogonopoma, y Pogonopomoides; y WI diverticulum en forma de circulo en Otocinclus.

Paulo Maurício Bidinotto*, Carolina Cisoto Barbosa* and Gilberto Moraes* Introduction Adaptation at the biochemical and physiological levels are established in the capacity for metabolic adjustments during exercise to all organisms. In fish, exercise to exhaustion involves short bouts of high intensity swimming. During this type of activity many physiological and biochemical systems approaches their limits (Milligan, 1996) Exhaustive exercise may produce in respiratory and metabolic acidosis. Studies on the lactic kinetics after severe exercise in fish try to explain the metabolic fate of such metabolite. As it has been shown, it seems that accumulation of lactic acid and/or glucose, as the depletion of liver glycogen store is very distinct between fishes. The channel catfish presents an increase of blood lactate after 5 minutes under exercise (Cameron, 1990) but the maximum value is reached only 10 minutes after swimming. The fast exercise recovery (4 hours) demonstrated the greater oxidation capability of this fish compared to others. This is indicated by significant glyconeogenesis and glucose rise only during recovery. In contrast, in salmonids after severe swimming, blood lactate levels increase 8 to 10 folds higher than increased values under conditions other than that (Milligan and Girard, 1993).

E-mail: francisco.langeani@unesp.br (Langeani) Received 18 May 2020 / Accepted 17 September 2020 / Published 16 November 2020 Communicated by Felipe Ottoni This study describes the main ontogenetic changes in the armored catfish Pterygoplichthys ambrosettii from newly hatched larva to adult. The relationship between the degree of development of newly hatched larvae and post-larvae and parental care is discussed. Ontogenetic series containing newly hatched larvae, post-larvae, and juveniles of P. ambrosettii were obtained from the Fish Culture Station of Universidade Estadual Paulista. Adult specimens were collected from the Preto River in the upper Paraná River basin. Morphological, osteological, morphometric, and meristic data and color pattern were analyzed. The species exhibited indirect development, with a distinct post-larval stage after the larval stage. Newly hatched larvae had a well-developed yolk sac and lacked pigmentation. The following characters underwent less change during development and can therefore be useful in taxonomical analyses: odontodes located posteriorly to the preopercle, number of plates on the lateral line, lower lip with three series of papillae, spots on the upper ray of the caudal fin, caudal fin similar to that of the adult, body ventrally covered with dermal plates and odontodes, small irregular spots on head, and typical ventral color pattern of the adult.

  • The Hypostominae of Argentina
    Ichthyological Contributions of PecesCriollos 29: 1-10 (2014) 1 The Hypostominae (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) of Argentina. Stefan Koerber1 & Claude Weber2 1 Friesenstr. 11, 45476 Muelheim, Germany, pecescriollos@koerber-germany.de 2 Muséum d’histoire naturelle, Département d’herpétologie et d’ichtyologie, Route de Malagnou 1, Case postale 6434, CH-1211 Genève 6, Suisse Abstract During time many species of Hypostomines have been reported from the freshwaters of Argentina. Most records have been confirmed, but others must be considered erroneous. We provide lists of both categories based on our actual knowledge gained from the exhaustive collection available in MHNG and from literature accounts, sometimes forced to make educated guesses or likelihood assumptions. Introduction The history of Hypostomines from Argentina dates back to 1836 when Valenciennes described the first species from the La Plata basin. The first half and the mid of the 19th century was dominated by European ichthyologists, e.g. Kner and Castelnau, who received specimens gathered during expeditions and field trips and described the species based on few material and with little or no referrence to geographical or systematical contexts. Towards the end of the 19th century still scientists from Europe dominated the freshwater ichthyology of Latin America but now started working on related groups or regional faunas (e.g. Boulenger, Regan, Perugia). In 1877 Weyenbergh was the first one who worked in Argentina, followed by Holmberg who in 1893 was the first Argentina born natural scientist describing a Hypostomine from his home country. Little later the Brazilian authors Miranda Ribeiro and von Ihering enlarged the list of species. During the mid of the 20st century new species from the lower La Plata basin were scarce as only Devincenzi from Uruguay and Gosline contributed to this field.

  • First Description of Small Juveniles of the Primitive Catfish Diplomystes (Siluriformes: Diplomystidae)
    71 Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwaters, Vol. 15, No. 1, pp. 71-82, 8 figs., 2 tabs., March 2004 © 2004 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISSN 0936-9902 First description of small juveniles of the primitive catfish Diplomystes (Siluriformes: Diplomystidae) John G. Lundberg*, Tim M. Berra** and John P. Friel*** At 13 mm SL young Diplomystes nahuelbutaensis are free living and, judging by their greatly diminished yolk mass, probably foraging. External development of form from these small fish to subadults is smooth and continuous, without distinct juvenile stages or specializations. The major changes of body and fin shape shown by Diplomystes are those common to most siluriforms and other fishes: juveniles have large heads and eyes, and expanded posterior median-fin membranes relative to larger specimens. Pigmentation pattern is similar in juveniles and adults in this species. Definitive pectoral- and dorsal-fin spines, and fin ray counts, except for caudal-fin procurrent rays, are established before firm ossification and segmentation of lepidotrichia. The postcleithral process develops relatively late. Introduction The largest specimen of D. nahuelbutaensis col- lected with the juveniles is 131 mm SL, thus yield- In December, 1992 T. M.
